This is one of my favorite shows, so I was
very happy to get this beautiful coffee table book.
It's all about the show and its characters,
the places they have traveled, and the other characters that
Sam and Dean have encountered (both good and bad). There are
tons and tons of great photos, as well as some great posters
and stickers included!
If you are a Supernatural fan, you will love
this book. It is fascinating and fun to pour through.
